My Friend Foundation partners with ‘Lifeworth – Save a Life’ project

Business

Lifeworth is a project initiated jointly by Fouzul Hameed, Julian Bolling and Asanka Nanayakkara to create an island-wide awareness about the dangers of drowning and to also encourage safe swimming.

It works closely with the Rainbow Swimming Academy, Sri Lanka Life Saving Association and together with the My Friend Foundation.

The launch event was held recently at the Kinross Beach in Wellawatte under the patronage of State Minister of Urban Development, Coast Conservation, Waste Disposal and Public Sanitation Dr. Nalaka Godahewa, according to a media release issued by the organisers.

Welcoming the initiative, Dr. Godahewa said that Sri Lanka has nearly 1600 kms of beach front which was for everyone to use. “We need to protect our beaches and the people who use it and that’s where this initiative comes in useful. I’m happy to learn that this project will be extended to other beachfronts too”.

After the ceremonial launch of the project, the guests, invitees and members engaged in a beach clean-up of the surroundings of the Kinross Club. Everyone present was then invited to watch a very interesting and educative series of demonstrations conducted by lifeguards of the Sri Lanka Life Saving Club.
